It is not only humans who joyfully welcome the appearance of the sun and enjoy warm days: this moment is closely associated with the awakening of ticks.
These insects are extremely dangerous.
And if within the city limits the probability of meeting an unpleasant "guest" is low, then when working in the country or walking in nature such a meeting is very likely, reminds the expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", scientist-agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh .
Not only store-bought sprays will help give you the necessary level of protection from insects: if you read their composition and familiarize yourself with the full instructions for use, then using them is scary.
You can repel insects with a couple of scents.
What are we talking about?
Vanilla
This incredibly pleasant aroma for humans seems disgusting to ticks. You can use vanilla extract or essential oil.
You can also use the spice itself.
A small amount of vanilla is diluted in water and applied to clothes, skin and hair. A pleasant aroma and protection from insects are guaranteed.
Valerian
You can plant this plant on your plot and reduce the number of insects in your dacha. You can buy a special tincture, dilute it in water and use it instead of a spray.
The smell will, of course, be specific, but you will be provided with the required level of protection.
